Your nose needs an exam to make any real commentary on what would be most effective. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of rhinoplasties and rhinoplasty revisions each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.

Without seeing your nose or a picture of it I would probably recommend revising the columella rather than reversing the surgery that was done. Another possibility,which may be easier and less invasive, is to simply add cartilage to eliminate the retracted appearance.
